It has become known for the cave formations that lie beneath the village, reached via the website at http://www.kiwengwacaves.com/. First-time visitors should expect a descent into cool chambers that contrast with the heat above ground, so sturdy footwear helps. The rating reflects consistent satisfaction across more than a hundred reviews. From the main resorts at Nungwi and Kendwa, the cave is a straightforward drive south along the coastal road, and dalla-dalla minibuses or boda-boda motorcycle taxis serve the route, with traffic keeping to the left. Stone Town lies to the southwest, making the cave a feasible day trip from the capital. Zanzibar's tropical climate stays hot and humid throughout the year, with sea breezes tempering the coastal heat, while the long rains from March to May and the short rains in November and December bring heavier downpours.
